Personal and Public Communication

Introduction  




Developments in technology have allowed an increasing number of mobile devices to be developed that enable people to communicate anytime, anyplace, anywhere. There is a wealth of information available to society that can be accessed on demand and has changed the way in which people behave.
It is important that the ITGS student is able to discuss the social impacts and ethical issues related to these technologies. These may include the health implications of mobile devices, unauthorised access to wireless networks, interception of communications, storage of personal communications for security purposes, and tracking of people.

Web Solution Project

For the next Project You will work either in pairs or individually to create a web solution or a mobile app that addresses a specific problem assigned. The web solution/ mobile app should be created any language but preferable PHP. A screen cast lasting for not more that 10 mins will be submitted showing the process and techniques used in the development of the solution. The site needs to be hosted in a free hosting website.
  1. To-do list.
    Make a simple web app where you could add, mark as completed and delete to-do items or any other web database solution that solves a clients problem.     ( Shaan & Khushbu)
  2. CMS (content management system) for a blog or portfolio (a.k.a very very basic version of WordPress).

  4. Basic forum.
    Login/Register, make a topic, leave replies, edit content, delete content. Create different permissions for different users – simple users should only be allowed to edit (not delete) the topics and replies that were created by them. Admins should be able to delete and edit anything or any other web database  solution that solves a clients problem.     (Ashhal & Nami)
  5. Simple Youtube Player which would allow you to create custom playlists depending on your mood.

  8. Simple reminder system.
    Put a list of things you want to remember and make the system send you an email on a certain time or any other web database solution that solves a clients problem.    ( Arshman & Tia)
  9. App which would visualise how you 24 hours looks like.
    Build an app which would allow you to add what you usually do over 24 hours and then it would visualise it with a diagram (or a few) or any other web database  solution that solves a clients problem.     (Adnan & Yesha)
  10. Make a simple app where you could create quizzes with multiple options to answer and then send a link to another person to solve it and the app would tell how well they’ve performed or any other solution web database that solves a clients problem.(Raphael & Sophie).
